Xamarin.Android code compilation

From the docs:

On Android, Xamarin’s compiler compiles down to Intermediate Language (IL), which is then Just-in-Time (JIT) compiled to native assembly when the application launches.

So if I'm developing for Android using Xamarin.Android and C# language, my code that is in C# gets compiled into IL, which is then at run time compiled into some native assembly. What is meant by this native assembly?

...compiled to native assembly...

The Mono runtime on Android JITs the IL to the platform's processor-based native code, that could be 32 or 64-bit ARM/Thumb instructions and on Intel that would be x86_32 and x86_64 instructions.
